The expanses of the American West take center stage in this intimately observed triptych from Kelly Reichardt.

Adapted from three short stories by Maile Meloy and unfolding in self-contained but interlocking episodes, Certain Women navigates the subtle shifts in personal desire and social expectation that unsettle the circumscribed lives of its characters: a lawyer (Laura Dern) forced to subdue a troubled client; a wife and mother (Michelle Williams) whose plans to construct her dream home reveal fissures in her marriage; and a night-school teacher (Kristen Stewart) who forms a tenuous bond with a lonely ranch hand (Lily Gladstone), whose longing for connection delivers an unexpected jolt of emotional imm ediacy. With unassuming craft, Reichardt captures the rhythms of daily life in smalltown Montana through these fine-grained portraits of women trapped within the landscape's wide-open spaces.

When two young men arrive at a family-run guesthouse in rural France, their anticipation of a few days' peace and quiet is undermined by a variety of sinister occurrences.

A small bird is found murdered, its neck in a tiny noose, a strangely sexualized stain appears on a wall, and a slug crawls across the breakfast tray. Are these all signs comprising a portent of truly cosmic significance, or merely bizarre coincidences? And is it any wonder that one of the visitors, Witold (piercing-eyed Jonathan Genet) has such difficulty writing his novel, or that his companion Fuchs (Johan Libereau) prefers to find solace in earthier pleasures?

Set in the world of 1980s college life, 'Everybody Wants Some' follows a freshman's first weekend at college, experiencing a fraternity-like lifestyle with his hard partying teammates as they navigate their way through the freedoms and responsibilities of unsupervised adulthood.
